Faith and festivity
Diwali commemorates many important dates and events in Sikh history. The Sikhs rejoice in their religious freedom, which was won against so many odds, writes
Dhananjaya Bhat
MOST
of us are aware of the fact that the Sikh community celebrates
Diwali exuberantly, especially in the Golden Temple at Amritsar —
their most sacred shrine. There, on Diwali, in addition to nagar
kirtan, and akhand paath , Diwali is celebrated by a grand
fireworks display.
In
the magical land
Sudhamahi
Regunathan visits Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Once feared
as the capital of drug lords and crime, it is now a tourists’
paradise

the cab driver turns around and addresses you as Mi amor,
don’t feel hassled. This is how every gallant Spanish man addresses
a lady he meets. And when he does so with the typical Latin American
swagger, you know you are in the land of Garcia Marquez where some
things are for real and others, magical.
Social issues on canvas
AN
exhibition displaying art by 20 top Indian contemporary artists,
Looking Glass: The Existence of Difference has been on at four
simultaneous venues in New Delhi. The
month-long exhibition, which ends today, was curated by independent
artist-art historian Gayatri Sinha.
Rapid
Fire
Hrithik
comes calling
Hrithik Roshan, who will hit
the screens with Guzaarish this festive season, talks about the life-changing
experience the film has been for him. Deepa
Karmalkar reports
AT
the gala music launch of Guzaarish, Hrithik was all charged up
to take on media queries. It is hard to believe that an actor full of
such vitality and life would be playing a magician, who becomes a
quadriplegic after a trick goes a wrong in Guzaarish.
A
flood of blockbusters
With Diwali round the corner,
Bollywood is all set to usher in the boxoffice season as multi-crore
productions compete with one another for release, writes V.
Gangadhar
FOR
Bollywood, along with the normal four seasons, there are two
more. These are the lean season and the box office one.
